Sugarland has announced the launch of In The Hands of the Fans, their sixth consecutive headlining tour this April. The interactive tour, with opening acts Lauren Alaina and Canaan Smith, will rely solely on fan interaction and requests to determine the set list played in each city.
“The fans will make the requests that will help form the set list and guide the show through texts, handwritten signs, the Internet (Twitter, Facebook, etc), phone calls made during the show and selections directly from the stage,” explained Nettles. “The fans will become the conductors as well as the audience. If it’s on one of our records or if we’ve played it on a stage it is fair game.”
Specific guidelines and details will be forthcoming on the duo’s website about how to specifically engage with the interactive tour.
